Chapter 126: Newcastle's Dilemma
(Go to the net.)
Due to the payment of 100,000 pieces of gold to the Burundian Empire, the vitality of the orc clans has been greatly damaged, and the people's lives have become more difficult and difficult. Go and see the net. Even King Dibia is now inferior to some of the human viscounts.
As the husband of the county lord, Aaron has never been affected by this natural disaster**, but just eats a few fewer dishes with everyone. Test Text Watermark 5. According to the pre-marital agreement, although Arun and Kournikova live together on the surface, they are not cohabiting in the real sense. Because Alun hid in the study all day long and looked through reading materials, the relationship between the two, who didn't have much to talk about, was once again poured with a layer of cold water to cool down quickly.
After recovering three or four percent of his body, Allen sneaked out of Arsenal City in search of the Tiangang Gem and witnessed Newcastle's current predicament. Patches of farmland and grassland were flooded by rainwater, and many mountains and forests were swallowed up by mudslides. Test text watermark 7. Groups of ragged, yellow-skinned, half-orcs crowded the streets and alleys of the Imperial City. This is still the case in the vicinity of the Imperial City, not to mention those that have been more severely affected.
The economy of the orcs is mainly supported by two pillars: furs and mercenaries. Now, the hunt for fur has been temporarily interrupted by rain and torrents, and Newcastle has become one of the main mercenary destinations on the continent more than three hundred years ago, thanks to the strength of the orcs. Test text watermark 7. But now that the orcs have blockaded the east, and the barbarians and dwarves have strengthened their dominance in the southern territories, it is very difficult for the outside world to hire Newcastle's orcs.
In this way, although the half-orc and half-clan also realized the importance and necessity of unity, Newcastle had reached a very urgent point. Solving the immediate problem of food and medical care is the most urgent thing for King Dibia at present.
Since Arsenal City has long been messed up by this series of bad things, and Aaron has now become the half-orc colt, Aaron is obviously a lot freer. Test Text Watermark 2. Now, even if Aaron wanders out of the city in front of the half-orc warriors, the other party will ask about it, but he will never stop it.
The Tiangang Gem has been recorded in the north-west of Newcastle, and although it is now in the ocean, Aaron still feels that he will go over and see it after the disaster.
However, that place belonged to a ground called the White Stone Clan, and if he wanted to enter that place, he had to go through it justifiably, otherwise His Highness's identity would not bring much security to his original human identity. Test Text Watermark 3. The important thing is that that place has been around for more than 700 years, and it was a famous Tiangang gem mine at that time, and it is estimated that it has been mined long ago.
Another major discovery was that the soil in the Newcastle region contains all the components of Tiangang gemstone, but the amount is so small that it is almost negligible, and it is not evenly distributed. However, in the "Comprehensive Application and Overview of Mineral Deposits", there has been a comment from a certain beast prophet that Shimai can very well condense all kinds of free Tiangang stone component molecules......
In other words, as long as Newcastle can grow stone wheat on a large scale, then with Newcastle's natural advantages, you can get a steady stream of Tiangang gemstones. Test text watermark 7.
With the help of undead minions now, Aaron had no doubt that those powerful orc warriors could easily tear themselves apart.
After more than half a month, Allen visited most of Newcastle to investigate and find that Newcastle has been the main reason for the property. Test Text Watermark 3. On the one hand, it is due to the harsh climate and poor soil, but this is not the main reason.
As mentioned in a small chapter in the Comprehensive Application and Overview of Mineral Deposits, Newcastle was not called Newcastle more than 700 years ago, but a city called Montreal. At that time, the city was still ruled by humans, and the people were well fed and clothed, and not only could they be self-sufficient in food, but they also sold a lot of surplus food to other towns. Test Text Watermark 3.
But if Montreal was so productive at that time, why did Newcastle still need to import a lot of grain now?
After a lot of interviews and research, Aaron found the crux of the problem. The climate and soil of Newcastle have not changed much today, except that the orcs have destroyed a food crop called stone wheat with their own hands. Test Text Watermark 2. At that time, human beings relied on stone wheat to repeatedly create impressive yields, and became one of the most famous production areas in the northwest region of the Acura continent at that time.
Stone wheat is very selective about geography and climate, and Newcastle is one of the very few areas where it is most conducive to stone wheat cultivation. This was the fundamental reason why stone wheat could not be grown outside of Montreal at that time.
Although the average yield per mu of stone wheat is much lower than that of ordinary rice, wheat and other major food crops, the annual yield is also three to four percent higher than that of other crops. Test Text Watermark 5. Because the production rate of stone wheat is very fast, the maturity period is much shorter than that of other crops. As a result, at the end of the year, the same area of stone wheat is much higher than the high-yielding crops in other places.
But the biggest problem at the moment was that Aaron had traveled to most of the areas in the name of the royal family's condolences to the toiling masses, except for those areas that had been severely affected, and in this case he had not seen even a grain of stone wheat.
According to many clan elders, the reason why the previous generation left it down was that after the orcs occupied Newcastle seven hundred years ago, that is, the city of Montreal at that time, the orcs did not know much about the purpose of the stone wheat.
The skin of the stone wheat is extremely hard, and it must be soaked in the rhizomes of several very common but inconspicuous trees to become soft, and then exposed to the sun before it can be shelled on its own.
At that time, there may have been a very small number of orcs who were aware of this separation method, but it was a very tedious and heavy task to recover the stone wheat after it was hulled, and it required a lot of labor to carry out this work. At that time, with the number of orcs in the tens of thousands, it was obviously impractical to select enough people from among the orcs who specialized in production. Perhaps for all these reasons, in order to prevent humans from lurking in Montreal, the orc leader at the time ordered all wheat seeds to be burned.
